This bill enacts comprehensive safety regulations for the transport and geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in Louisiana, establishing new rules for Class VI injection wells and pipelines. Key provisions include detailed definitions for terms like "carbon dioxide stream" (captured CO2 plus any added substances) and "geologic sequestration" (long-term underground containment), requirements for emergency preparedness and first responder education, and stringent safety standards for Class VI injection wells covering siting, construction, operation, monitoring, and plugging.
